A gyro-phase-resolved pulsar emission code calibrated against a gyro-centric model reproduces its curvature radiation maps and spectra for a Vela-like pulsar and converges to the Aristotelian Electrodynamics limit.

abstract
Electromagnetic field together with zero-mass charges moving in this field form a well-behaved semi-dissipative dynamical system -- Electrodynamics of Massless Charges (EMC). We give equations of EMC, argue that EMC is an adequate theory for calculating pulsar magnetospheres, give an illustrative numerical calculation (showing that bolometric luminosity of an aligned rotator is approximately equal to half the spin-down power). EMC looks like a portion of the full pulsar theory that will resolve the already calculated bolometric luminosity into light curves and spectra.

Towards Modelling AR Sco: Calibration -- Reproducing High-Energy Pulsar Emission and Testing Convergence to Aristotelian Electrodynamics
A gyro-phase-resolved pulsar emission code calibrated against a gyro-centric model reproduces its curvature radiation maps and spectra for a Vela-like pulsar and converges to the Aristotelian Electrodynamics limit.
